Monday of the Second Week in Lent
If we are children of God, then we must be like our Father: merciful as He is merciful, after the example of His only Son. After all, in the flesh we take after our fathers genetically, even if not in our behavior and personality. But we are not children of God in the flesh, but rather in Spirit, and so how is it that we will be known as children of God?
“Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”
